Bad Tom Smith was a felon and a murderer. He confessed to the killing of six men as he awaited his fate at the gallows, telling the gathering crowd that “bad whiskey and bad women have brought me where I am”. That being said, we hope to do penance for his crimes by making good beer for all the bad whiskey Bad Tom drank. This includes our flagship beer. Deep within this dark liquid lies the essence of a brown ale: a malty, sweet backbone surrounded by notes of nuttiness and caramel, with just a hint of chocolate. Low hop bitterness balances out the rich body to create a solid, impressionable American Brown.

Flavor: Nutty and sweet, with caramel and a hint of chocolate.Clarity: Pours an unclouded, deep amber-brown with a smooth, beige head.Aroma: Subtle roasted malts, toasted bread, and a notable sweetness.Series: Legend
